Chapter 190: The Police Inquiry

The barrage of comments was really too fast, but everyone still caught a few key pieces of information.

Currently, the main focus of criticism was centered on Dennis's attitude towards Er Gou.

Whether it was Gu Yi or Kanon, they both focused their strategy on Er Gou, while Dennis focused his strategy on the mine supervisor.

Dennis's appearance of working without wearing a helmet always seemed somewhat out of place.

Early this morning, Dennis was called over by the supervisor.

"What's your name?"

"Dennis."

"I need to talk to you, come with me."

"What's the matter?"

"Don't ask, just come with me." Finnd new chapters at novelhall.com

The supervisor left the service robot in the mine and had his subordinates continue to supervise the work there, then he pulled Dennis away from the mine.

He brought Dennis to an office.

Sitting in the office were the supervisor and another high-ranking citizen. The supervisor was very respectful towards this citizen, perhaps he was an even higher-ranking citizen than the supervisor?

"What's your name?"

"Dennis?"

"It's your real name?"

"Yes."

Dennis nodded. He was accustomed to using fake names; even the name Wild Dog Yamada was made up, and Dennis was just one of his aliases.

However, he was now representing the Nordics in battle, so the name Dennis should be relatively more "authentic."

"Good." The high-ranking citizen nodded, scribbling on a piece of paper, "I'm a police officer from the police station. I've noticed you've been getting quite close to Er Gou recently. Have you noticed any abnormalities about him?"

"I've only met him once," Dennis thought for a moment before saying, "He wanted me to steal ore to sell to him, but I didn't agree."

"We've already investigated and found that two miners had transactions with Er Gou. To our surprise, the price at which these people traded with Er Gou was extremely low, at most twenty years per pound.

This unusual phenomenon has caught our attention. However, we haven't found any evidence of his transactions yet, so we hope you can cooperate with us by going undercover.

Your mission has two objectives.

First, lure Er Gou into a transaction and cooperate with us to catch him.

Second, uncover the truth behind Er Gou's transactions. Tell us why he's able to press the prices so low, yet still can find people willing to trade with him."

"Undercover?"

"Yes, this mission is dangerous, but the reward is substantial.

If you can investigate this, we'll promote you to a second-class citizen and reduce your sentence by two million years. According to our records, you're a modified human and once one of us, making you the most suitable candidate for undercover work we could find.

Are you willing to take on this mission?"

Dennis blinked.

"Yes."

Kanon nodded and stood between the two men, suddenly understanding something.

The regulations of the Series A rules stated that third-class citizens couldn't be alone in a closed space with a high-ranking citizen, so if a high-ranking citizen really wanted something, they had to engage in group activities.

"Damn...Who in the world came up with such a perverse rule?"

"Why are you looking down? Stand up straight."

"Yes, sir."

Kanon straightened up, observing the high-ranking citizen carefully.

If the Supervisor indeed coveted her body, then this high-ranking citizen didn't seem to have such blatant desires. She was adept at reading people, and a single glance told her that her initial thoughts were wrong.

"What's your name?"

"Kanon."

"I mean your real name."

"It's Kanon."

"Your records can't be found... What's your real name?"

After thinking for a moment, Kanon said, "I've lost my memory and can't remember my real name. I gave myself this name."

"Never mind, it doesn't matter. Just give me your citizen ID."

"Okay."

Kanon recited a string of numbers and alphabets.

"Ah... I see. Your family was executed for violating the law, which is why you became a third-class citizen."

Kanon didn't speak, which was taken as confirmation.

The person continued, "Here's the thing, I'm a police officer from the police station, and I have some questions for you."

Kanon's eyes darted around, wondering if this was about the man who drank himself to death yesterday, and now the police were investigating her?

It probably wasn't that.

If she really had broken the law yesterday, the police robots would have come to arrest her then. Moreover, she had already gone through all the A series rules and was certain she hadn't violated any laws.

With this thought, Kanon maintained her composure and nodded calmly.

"Sir, please feel free to ask your questions."

"What's your relationship with Er Gou?"

"Hmm? Which Dog?"

"We've found that you've been in frequent contact with him. What's your relationship?"

"There's no relationship at all; I don't even know who he is."

"How could that be..."

"Stop it, I said there's no relationship, so there's no relationship!"

Kanon burst out, stomping her feet angrily.
